handspun, 2ply laceweight, 28 WPI, 50/50 camel/silk
205 grams/7.2 ounces - 1215 yards/1093 metres
I was shocked that it actually took closer to 4.5 hours and I still have some leftover on one of the bobbins. I'll get the WPI calculation for you when I ply the remaining bit.
Edited to add: I plyed the remaining 142 yards/128 metres this evening, and THIS time I remembered to measure the wraps per inch before I skeined it on a niddy noddy. At 28 WPI it is the finest 2 ply I have ever spun.
This is earmarked for a lace shawl, quite likely the Bee Fields Shawl.

Beautiful yarn! :)
oooh, it's beautiful stuff marlene, and will be luscious in a bee stole!
28 WPI...wow! This is beautiful and your Shawl pattern exquisite.
Ooo what pretty yarn!
As non-spinner I'm extremely impressed that you can spin something that fine. I'll be looking forward to seeing you shawl. What a sense of accomplishment to spin and knit for a shawl!
Wow. I have never spun yarn that fine in my life! Gorgeous.
